The Postman

Summary

Amir's life is marked by a great emptiness: since his teenage son was killed in a rocket attack, his wife barely speaks and his eldest son does nothing but cause trouble. His work as a letter carrier is the only thing that brings Amir a little peace and restores a little normalcy. But with the conquest of Kabul by the Mujahideen, his daily route through the city looks more and more like crossing a minefield.
